Chapter 13 Building a Wireless Network

With its ability to operate in various operating modes, your ENH200 is the ideal device around

which you can build your WLAN. This appendix describes how to build a WLAN around your

ENH200 using he device’s operating modes.

13.1 Access Point Mode

In Access Point Mode, ENH200 behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that

support IEEE 802.11b/g/n networks. Stations and client must be configured to use the same

SSID and security password to associate with the ENH200. The ENH200 supports four

SSIDs at the same time for secure guest access.
